And so, in the dark days of Winter, Ealasaid did give in to peer pressure and create her own blog. And lo, it was strange and peculiar, and made little sense. But it was filled with links, sarcasm, and humor. And she looked upon it, and saw that it was good.

Hip, Hop, Hoo!

Wrapping up 30 Days of Lists!

It’s a good thing that there’s no wrong way to do the lists, because boy howdy have I not been following my plan — to do it every day. OH WELL.

Much to my annoyance, I had a draft for days 17-20, but it has vanished into the ether. Guess I will try to recreate them from memory!

Day 17: People I want to be like when I grow up

There are a lot of people I admire greatly, but I have finally started feeling like an adult, so my actual answer is pretty short:

Myself

I want to be like my own self when I grow up. So my job is figuring out what that means, and I’ve been working on it really hard for a long time. Now, at 36, I am finally starting to feel like I know what that means.

Day 18: Where I take out of town guests

Oooo good times! In the SF Bay Area:

The Winchester Mystery House

Alcatraz

Big Basin

In Portland:

Portland Japanese Garden

International Rose Test Garden

Lan Su Chinese Garden

Powell’s City of Books

Day 19: “Pins” to try

I don’t really use Pinterest enough to do this list.

Day 20: When I was your age

Oh man. So if the target audience is, say, a high schooler:

I didn’t have internet access because the internet barely even existed.

I didn’t have a cellphone for basically the same reason.

I used a typewriter for my essays and lab reports, not a computer (I did that for my frosh year of college, too)

Day 21: The perfect _____________ involves _____________

Oh man, I could probably do this list forEVER.

The perfect day involves reading

The perfect life involves cats

The perfect evening involves tasty food/drink and good friends

The perfect weekend involves sleeping in

The perfect video game involves a lot of humor, or at least a light tone

Day 22: This week’s playlist

I listen to music so rarely these days that I guess I will have to use my podcast playlist!
